 The alarming disease of this country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but 1t Is essen- tally the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- Ions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United States Is de- ,rcasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business profess i,nal and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite mark. The majority of sui c!dcs, committed without ap- trent reason, or under so-called
 depression of spirits,' are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful .,nrce of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror.
 These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the brings of it's power and pros perity. They wreck manhood's ,trength and woman's useful ness aud beauty. ~ .
 Every one should know the causes. What are they! The answer Is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and pnys,cal strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears aud struggles of pov- erty; the use of narcotics and sllmulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for al hours pleasure or success. 50 we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the eraveyards.
 The disease from which we suffer and die Is, in plain Eng fish, Nervous UnSlaps'o, as it is seated in the Ne!H -s and in the organs of Digestion, Assim- ilation and Nutlluon. Healthy digestion be.us mpeded or des- troyed, the whole tody, nerves included, Is tite'ui!y aarved; !; even when there is no emaci- ution to tell the sad s,ory.
 Nervous pio.,- on sends out its warmhys:- headache In the morning., a | rslstent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakefulness; 1; loss of appetite and disgust with food; los of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx- iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; paIpitation of the heart; sal lowness of tue skin; coated tongue and a.yadual failure of strength au ambition.
 The remedy Is a total aban- donment of tie habits and GUS toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of .Shoder Ertruct of Roots (Seigcl's Syrup to cure the mischief already done. This great remcdy, rrcpared by the Shaker Comn!uaity of Mt. Leb- anon, N, Y., isc>pccially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys- pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon the di@ordered stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- noting the secretion of bile, ex- polling waste matters from the system, Land purifying the blood.
 Upon the nervous system MoIc, Ertruct(Scig Syrup) acts as q safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition.
 It k safe to say more nerv- oas dypel%ics have been re- $ red by it from the depths of misery to fresh enjoyment ol life and labor tEan by any or all other forms of treatment cNmhined
